fuzzystrmatch

fuzzystrmatch

The fuzzystrmatch module provides functions to determine
similarities and distance between strings based on various algorithms.

The Greenplum Database fuzzystrmatch module is equivalent
to the PostgreSQL fuzzystrmatch module. There are no
Greenplum Database or MPP-specific considerations for the module.

Installing and Registering the Module

The fuzzystrmatch module is installed when you install
Greenplum Database. Before you can use any of the functions defined in the
module, you must register the fuzzystrmatch extension in
each database in which you want to use the functions.
Refer to Installing Additional Supplied Modules
for more information.

this module.
